The Bear trail is for boys who are in the third grade or who are 9 years old. The Bear trail has 24 achievements, 12 of which a boy must complete to earn the Bear badge.
For every three achievemtents that are completed, your son will receive a red bead to display on his uniform to show his progress toward the rank of Bear.
In addition to working on the Bear achievement tracks, your son can also work on electives to earn gold and silver arrow points to display on his uniform below his Bear badge. When your Bear Cub Scout has completed his first ten electives, he will be eleigible for a gold arrow point. For every ten additional electives he completes, he will earn a silver arrow point to wear beneath the gold arrow point. He can earn as many silver arrow points as he wants while he is in the Bear program.
The Bear Handbook tells about the Bear achievement requirements and arrow point electives. The Bear Handbook may be purchased at the Norwela Council Office (map) in Shreveport.
Bear uniform, patches, and accessories are also available for purchase from the Norwela Council Office (map).
